Introductory talks

Your personal opera guide! At these introductory talks, the dramaturges of the Semperoper Dresden divulge interesting facts about the respective opera or ballet, explain the background to the production, give insights into the score and much, much more. The talks, which are free of charge for all ticket holders, are held before performances of new productions as well as before selected returning works. They begin 45 minutes before curtain-up in the cellar of the opera house (Semper Zwei: 25 minutes before the performance). We look forward to seeing you!

After-show discussions: Opera and Ballet

In cooperation with Opernclub e.V. and Ballettfreunde Semperoper e.V., we are offering moderated after-show discussions, in which audience members can talk about, debate and question what they have seen with our artistic team. These after-show discussions will be held either in the opera cellar or in Semper Zwei following a selected performance of (almost) every new opera or ballet production. Audience members can attend free of charge.

Due to the subject matter of »4.48 Psychosis«, there will be a discussion and the chance to exchange views after each performance of this work in Semper Zwei.
